Some of them are well done, and also are fundraisers. But, even so, I know what you mean. Many are not run well at all1 -

I could see myself doing one that is a fundraiser sometime, for sure!
I guess I just expected more...I'm not even sure what I expected!? I know a lot of people who do every single 5k/15k that comes to our city, and they seem completely motivated & transformed...it's just not me. I thought it was kind of neat, I guess...neat to be among other people and running through downtown with everything closed off to traffic. To me, it was not worth the money or trouble to even sign up and show up for, though! And if I was going to do a Turkey Trot let's say, I can't imagine also wanting to do the Christmas themed race a month later...and then St. Pat's...I guess it's just one of those things you love or you don't.0 -

Wait ...
Don't you have a bible quote on you're arm ?
Very astute grasshopper, I believe in God and that he is good and my verse assures me i am made for more than cowering in fear and that I am a strong and loving being.
I do not believe in organized religion because it is a tough crowd that can be extremely judgemental and hypocritical without taking the time to talk or get to know or actually try to help hurting people.
I am not here to talk about religion as I like this thread and don't want it to get shut down!

That's how I am. I don't think the really small races are run that good in general, and some of the larger ones are even worse due to coordination. But, I've done some great races that I'll do again when I'm back to running shape.
I've done a few fundraiser rides/races and didn't like most of them. But, a couple are okay. I'd much rather ride or run solo than do most.
But, I did enjoy doing my triathlons when I used to race. For the most part, those were ran very well.1 -

Dunno! Maybe she got tired of being here0 -
I read the Twilight books and found something positive to say to my enthusiastic niece and my father who both loved them and forcibly loaned them to me so we could discuss them. I didn't say I loved them but I didn't say how I really felt either.
I dissauded my dad from starting Fifty Shades of Grey so I wouldn't have to read or talk about them with him.
My dad went through a weird reading phase after my mom died.2 -

Oh goodness! I have been down that road (Twilight and Fifty Shades books) with my (much older & female) boss and can only imagine how awkward it would be with your dad, especially if he had read Fifty Shades.
The other day I watched the movie "Call Me By Your Name" and due to a couple of scenes I tried to dissuade my mother from watching it. She watched anyway and we had a very awkward discussion.0 -
